I can use either my Android tablet, or my Android phone to fly with, and both will cache videos for quick review. When using a card reader, I can connect the drone's SD card to either tablet or phone, and see the images/videos on the phone through files, etc.. but when I open the DJI Fly App and tap "DJI Fly" at the top of the screen and look to change the folder, I'm not seeing the option to open anything "external".

I can see folders for Camera, Instagram, Facebook, etc.. images and videos that were taken and stored directly to the device, but external SD card in the reader is not an available option.

If this is the way it works, then the only way to use the app to edit footage is via anything cached to the device from the drone in flight. This doesn't seem right, so I'll assume I'm doing something wrong.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

You will need to save the videos or photos to your device from the sd card, then it will be available for edits in the fly app.
